About PAWS Dog Daycare Calgary
A team built around one idea: dogs deserve structure, movement, and genuine care — every single day.
What Drives Us
PAWS creates a nurturing, inclusive environment for pets and their families. We deliver an exceptional dog daycare experience that recognizes the unique needs of every individual dog — regardless of size, breed, or temperament.
We build a community that extends beyond pet care — one that is diverse in both thought and action.
The People Who Set the Standard
And hold it every day.
Eric Yeung
Owner & Head Trainer
Eric is a self-taught dog trainer who has been working with dogs since 2010. He applies animal and dog psychology to give owners the tools and methods to genuinely understand and connect with their pets.
He has studied under training experts including Cesar Millan and Ian Dunbar, and has worked with dogs ranging from basic obedience cases to fearful and reactive dogs requiring full rehabilitation. Learn more about how Eric's methodology shapes every team member.
16+ Years ExperienceBridget
General Manager
Bridget manages the day-to-day operations at PAWS — keeping the pack running smoothly, the team supported, and our clients informed. Her commitment to the dogs in our care is visible in everything she does.
A true dog person at heart, Bridget found her own perfect match in Bentley — a rescue pup from AARCS (born February 2019). The two have been inseparable ever since.

The people who walk with, train, and care for your dog every day.
Melissa
Pack Supervisor
A Veterinary Assistant graduate (St. Lawrence College, 2017) with a passion for dog psychology. Melissa has grown with PAWS professionally and personally — her 13th birthday was spent visiting rescue dogs at the Calgary Humane Society.
Sheri Malinis
Pack Leader
Sheri discovered PAWS in 2016 while working as a hairstylist in the same building. Her confidence around dogs has grown significantly here — and when she adopted Mortimer, she naturally turned to the PAWS team for support.
Rebecca Neal
Pack Leader
Rebecca trained at Cultured Canines in 2018 and joined PAWS in 2021. She applies her trainer's eye to every interaction with the pack. Her dogs Arlo and Winry opened her world to dog sports — a passion she brings to work every day.
Ali Anderson
Pack Leader
Ali's corgi MJ sparked a deep interest in training and dog psychology. After completing the COOL course and training with Cultured Canines, she joined PAWS — and now does what she loves every single day.
Kandy Leung
Pack Leader
Kandy's lifelong dream was to have a dog of her own — today she has five. Originally from Hong Kong, she joined PAWS to deepen her knowledge of dog behaviour and handling, and has found the team to be welcoming and patient every step of the way.
Julia Chtchetinina
Pack Leader
Julia got her first dog Nika at thirteen and has been immersed in the dog world ever since. Her second dog Jasper arrived in 2020. She joined PAWS because she found a place that matched her level of dedication — and hasn't looked back.
Meet Michelle
Professional Groomer
With 40+ years of experience, Michelle has dedicated her career to animal care. She started at her parents' kennel as a child, worked her way through several grooming facilities, and landed her dream job at the 9th Ave Animal Clinic in 1981 — where she deepened her knowledge of animal health alongside her grooming craft.
At PAWS, Michelle brings that same level of expertise and attention to every dog she grooms — and her ability to spot health issues early has been an added benefit for many of our clients.
